Wow the energy here is beautiful. You can almost hear the rush of water as that bear breaks through the surface. Amazing sculpture from Ernest Massuet via In Arte Veritas.

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Full Xena deck you say 👀👀

More photos of wildlife crossings in comments. Great idea!

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death in the style of SpongeBob SquarePants. He's shaped like Patrick Star and is sitting grumpily with his arms crossed and a big scowl on his face.

He's mad at his boyfriend, SpongeStede FancyPants.

Anger is a poison, and like many poisons, it can also be made into medicine.

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

I'm working on posting fifty Canadian songs I love from the last fifty years over on my Dreamwidth journal. I figured I'd share a catch-up link here periodically, so here's the first ten posts (1977-1986):

Ink illustration of an owl classroom. The teacher is a large horned owl, and the students are small barn owls. They sit on books instead of chairs, and the classroom is in a patch of mushrooms. There is a framing element made of vines & leaves. It looks like you just walked into the classroom, and the teacher and some of the students are turning to look at you. Made with black and white ink.

Owl School. This is a T-shirt design I made for Downtown Books & News in Asheville, NC.
